7th Circuit Court of Appeals

Case Name: United States of America v. William T. Burrows

Case No.: 17-3292

Officials: FLAUM, RIPPLE, and BARRETT, Circuit Judges.

Focus: Sentencing Guidelines

William Burrows conditionally pleaded guilty to one count of receiving child pornography pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 2252A(a)(2)(A). He argues that § 2252A(a)(2)(A) is void for vagueness as applied to him, and therefore, that his indictment should have been dismissed. Additionally, he maintains that the district court erred at sentencing by basing his sentence, in part, on the need for sex offender treatment. We disagree, and we affirm Burrows’s conviction and sentence.
